Geothermal energy articles from across Nature Portfolio

Magma drilling data from Krafla volcano, Iceland, are used to reconstruct in situ lithostatic magmatic conditions using disequilibrium simulations that provide a method for improving the understanding of magma storage conditions and evolution.

Michael Drews et al. investigate the impact of drilling order criteria on the economics of hydrogeothermal heating portfolios. They show that considering cost, thermal power and geologic uncertainty can minimize the risk profile and cost of failure.
